The Fenton process is an advanced oxidation procedure that harnesses the chemistry of iron and hydrogen peroxide to purify wastewater. It is named after the British chemist H.J.H. Fenton, who discovered that ferrous ions could catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radicals, potent oxidants capable of degrading a wide range of organic […]

Gravity thickeners are an integral component of wastewater treatment plants, serving a crucial role in the processing of sludge. These systems utilize the principle of sedimentation, where solids separate from liquids due to the force of gravity. The higher-density solids gradually settle at the bottom of a tank, allowing clearer water to remain at the […]
